Education and Experience
Kester earned his B.S. in civil and environmental engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. From 1994 until 2007, he worked as the state residuals coordinator for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. In that position, he oversaw "all aspects of Wisconsin’s biosolids program." According to his biography:


 * "In that position, he has incorporated all necessary provisions of federal biosolids regulations, set policy for the Wisconsin biosolids program implemented by field engineers, and made determinations on the adequacy of solids-handling design. He developed and maintains a communication network for all state biosolids coordinators. The network provides a forum for the exchange of questions and dialogue on implementation, technical standards, and enforcement strategies. Mr. Kester has also been involved with a Wisconsin workgroup to develop risk-based soil criteria for PCBs."

For 10 years prior to becoming an environmental engineer, Kester worked for 10 years as an operator and biosolids-reuse program worker for the Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District. He has worked with wastewater treatment, engineering, farming, and biosolids management since 1973.
